For the people wondering about the high memory usage: .NET apps generally use a lot of memory; this is due to the way memory is allocated and deallocated. However, if your available RAM gets too low, the .NET runtime will automatically do a garbage collection, reducing the memory usage quite dramatically.

Any chance you'll release the source?

I don't know how to make transparent desktop progs like that, and I've love to see how it's implemented here.

Thanks if you can!

It seems that everyone (including me) has been posting about the high memory usage of this program. I have seen it go as as high as 20 MB, but I've also notice that it can go as low 4 or 5 MB.

Just thought this might be useful info for some reason.

The program is great and it works perfect for me. The problem is I dont like the graphics.. jejeje (a true color sun would be great) :D

I was wondering how high the refresh rate can be set. When I go home in a few weeks from college I'm going from a T1 back to 24k. Is there anyway just to set it to manual refresh or refresh when connection is present? If not, that would be something I would request. Or maybe its easier just to set the refresh rate to whatever the max is and then just refresh it manually. However, the refresh rate would have to be able to go high enough.
